SUMMARY:Pruning Hydrangeas: Steps 2 & 3 Detail and Pinch Pruning – All Major Species
DESCRIPTION:This event is now sold out. Thank you to all who purchased!\nHeritage’s Curator of Hydrangeas, Mal Condon, has over many years developed the seasonal step approach to more effectively prune our beloved hydrangeas. This program is the follow-up to Step 1 – Regenerative Pruning program held in March and illustrates a logical progression in hydrangea pruning. In this program, Mal will focus on Step 2 – Detail Pruning for the species H. macrophylla, H. serrata, H. arborescens, and H. paniculata – in common terms, the ‘Big Leaf,’ ‘Mountain,’ ‘Smooth,’ and ‘Panicle’ Hydrangeas. Step 3 – Pinch Pruning is exclusive to just the H. macrophylla and H. serrata species. This program demonstrates the continuing application of practicing specific pruning steps during specific times of the year to optimize plant form and bloom density.\nThe required techniques for both Steps are easily learned and practiced. Mal’s detailed remarks will cover the specifics for pruning each species and all the tools and tips you’ll need to address your plants. Timing-wise, Step 2 – Detail Pruning is a May event and Step 3 – Pinch Pruning is practiced in July. Mal has been evaluating both pruning Steps for some time on H. macrophylla and H. serrata cultivars. Step 2, however, is quite new to the H. arborescens and H. paniculata species and largely remains exploratory. Experiences to date have been encouraging, particularly concerning plant form and size containment. Mal will share critical details of what has been learned so far and will encourage you to contribute to this continuing and interesting development.\nThis program also includes bonus content, as Mal will additionally address two other important and timely subjects – fertilizing and bloom color control. Even with all there is to cover in this program, there will still be plenty of time allotted in this small group session for questions and discussion. Following the program, you’ll receive a PDF file including presentation content via email for your reference.\nThis program will be held indoors at the Heald Center inside the J.K. Lilly III Automobile Gallery. Advance registration is required, and we expect this popular program to sell out quickly.\nConsider staying after the program to visit the gardens and exhibits. Admission to Heritage following the program is included with Heritage membership. Those who are not members of Heritage may purchase a program registration that includes admission following the program at a discounted rate. Save $8 on your visit!\nProgram fees fund Heritage’s mission to inspire people of all ages to explore, discover, and learn together. Thank you for your support. \n \n
